One of the Islamic militant group Al-Shabab officers said on Thursday that he quitted from the group - this is a blow to the movement’s increasing power in the capital.

 

In an interview with Waagacusub Media, Mahamad Adan Kofi, one of the leading frontline officers in the group spoke out his defection from Al-Shabab saying we have to honor to the recent call by the clerics that is giving four months to the African Union troops to withdraw from the country.

“When I understood that some of Al-Shabab officers oppose to the call of the clerics of stopping the war for 120 days, I decided to back out of Al-Shabab Islamists,” said Kofi who also appealed to the Islamist officers at the frontline to cease bothering the public and fear of their Allah.

Kofi was among Al-Shabab militant commanders known for the hit and run attacks on the Ethiopian troops during their presence in Somalia. He is the first Islamist officer off the group since Al-Shabab started its armed struggle against the Ethiopian occupation two years ago.
